黄道尘的来源

Sources of zodiacal dust

S. I. Ipatov

摘要:

小行星粒子、木星轨道外的粒子(包括海王星外粒子)和木星轨道内的彗星粒子在黄道尘埃中的比例估计各约为1/3,偏差可能在1/3至0.1-0.2之间。这些估计是基于我们的黄道带云模型的比较,这些模型使用了小行星、彗星和海王星外天体产生的尘埃粒子轨道演化的数值积分结果,这些尘埃粒子具有不同的观测结果(例如,WHAM [威斯康星H-阿尔法映射光谱仪]观测黄道光的光谱,在离太阳不同距离处的数量密度)。恩克型彗星(e~0.8-0.9)产生的粒子比例不超过总粒子数的0.15。长周期彗星和哈雷型彗星产生的粒子在黄道尘埃中的估计比例也不超过0.1-0.15。虽然海王星外粒子符合木星轨道内尘埃的不同观测结果,但它们不可能在黄道带云中占主导地位,因为对距离太阳的数密度分布的研究表明,海王星外粒子不可能在木星和土星轨道之间占主导地位。更适合WHAM观测的黄道带粒子的平均离心率约为0.2-0.5,更可能的值约为0.3。

英文摘要:

Fractions of asteroidal particles, particles originating beyond Jupiter's orbit (including trans-Neptunian particles), and cometary particles originating inside Jupiter's orbit among zodiacal dust are estimated to be about 1/3 each, with a possible deviation from 1/3 up to 0.1-0.2. These estimates were based on the comparison of our models of the zodiacal cloud that use results of numerical integration of the orbital evolution of dust particles produced by asteroids, comets, and trans-Neptunian objects with different observations (e.g., WHAM [Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper spectrometer] observations of spectra of zodiacal light, the number density at different distances from the Sun). The fraction of particles produced by Encke-type comets (with e~0.8-0.9) does not exceed 0.15 of the overall population. The estimated fraction of particles produced by long-period and Halley-type comets among zodiacal dust also does not exceed 0.1-0.15. Though trans-Neptunian particles fit different observations of dust inside Jupiter's orbit, they cannot be dominant in the zodiacal cloud because studies of the distribution of number density with a distance from the Sun shows that trans-Neptunian particles cannot be dominant between orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. Mean eccentricities of zodiacal particles that better fit the WHAM observations were about 0.2-0.5, with a more probable value of about 0.3.
